SKY77762

The SKY77762 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is a fully matched 10-pad surface mount module developed for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) applications. This small and efficient module packs full 1850-1910 MHz bandwidth coverage into a single compact package. Because of high efficiencies attained throughout the entire power range, the SKY77762 delivers unsurpassed talk-time advantages. The SKY77762 meets the stringent spectral linearity requirements of High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), and Long Term Evolution (LTE) data transmission with high power added efficiency. An integrated directional coupler eliminates the need for any external coupler.

The SKY77762 is manufactured with Skyworks' InGaP GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process which provides for all positive voltage DC supply operation and maintains high efficiency and good linearity. While primary bias to the SKY77762 can be supplied directly from any suitable battery with an output of 3.2 V to 4.2 V, optimal performance is obtained with VCC2 sourced from a DC-DC power supply adjusted within 0.5 V to 3.6 V based on target output power levels. Power down executes by setting VENABLE to zero volts. No external supply side switch is needed as typical "off" leakage is a few microamperes with full primary voltage supplied from the battery.
